size of type used in reading composition will become much
larger and more readable.

Have you ever thought of living
under the rule of a dictator? Can you
imagine what It would be like? Ignazio Silone in his "Bread and Wine"
portrays the situation vividly and authentically. Not many people know
what everyday life in modern Italy
means to ordinary citizens. Silone, a
true Italian, a brilliant observer, discipli ned thinker, and an accomplished
writer, portrays day by day life as it
is now lived. He portrays the peasants
with accuracy, vigor, racy humor, and
understanding.
This is a novel of symbolism. Pietro
Spina, the hero of the book, symbolizes liberty to which he devotes his
entire life. He is constantly pursued
by the police and has to disguise himself in priestly robes in order to
escape. Despite his failing health he
manages to return to his native villaso after a self exile abroad, f f q
works cautiously to prevent any suspicion but the declaration of war on
Ethiopia stirs him deeply and he is un_
able to restrain himself any longer.
He seeks his former comrades and
through them tries to stir up the peasants. One by one they are arrested
until Spina has to flee for fear of capture.
All the characters in the story are
affected, directly or indirectly, by
Spina.

While In a reviewin g and reflective
mood , we should do Justice to our opp onents from up Stroudsbur g way,
where poor athletic tea ms are as
scarce as silver dollars , or any dollars
for that matte r.
We are told that In the 11 years Doc
Cras per has tutored the Warrior basketball squa d his teams have avera ged
43.4 poi nts for 200 games. While we
don 't know what his opp onents have
averaged , we do know that they deserve a big hand If they have come
anywhere near that figur e.
The up-staters lost five men by
graduation this year: Dubln and Morgan , co-captains , Bill Davis, Jimm y
Reese and Danny Gre goria. But they
claim they aren 't worr ying, so perhaps we better be. ("bette r be") colloquialism for the time being.)
• • *
Nothing definite from other oppon-
ents, thou gh we do have a little news
from Kutztown , where they report a
loss by grad uation of two varsit y
cagers , Russ Stoudt and Claude Heffner , and one sub , William Purnell .
Stoudt , who will captain the baseball team this season , has als;o served
as captain of the football team ('36'37). The diminutive all around sta r
from Allento wn has won a total of
29 varsity letters in college, Allentown
Prep, and the Wh itehall Twp. High
School , Lehigh Count y. Anyone wearing a sweater award on the local campus wan t to match him?
It Is the unfor tunate but true obser vation of this depa rtment that a certain mid- western coach' s idea of placing a net on the othe r side of pole
vaulting standard s to eliminate the
usual fall for the ¦vaulter and make
things safer in general will have no
pra ctical use at Bloomsbur g.
The experimenter fro m a large midwestern u niversity believes that the
J ar which accompanies a drop of
thirteen or fourteen feet after the bar
has been cleared is injurious to a
vaulter 's nerves and physical condition , so he placed a net on the other
side of the bar to catch the vaulter.
The new device is also said to eliminate the fear of falling so often found
among young candidates.
But to localize the story a bit more
—you can't come down farther than
you went up, and to place the net so
close to the pit would seem foolish.

Sports at Bloomsb urg are backed by
the students , as evidenced at the tennis match with Susquehanna the other
day. Men of North Hall draped them selves out of all available window
spa ce and nonchantly viewed the
match from that pinnacle. Waller
Hall damsel s followed suit (from Waller Hall , of course ) and took advantage of the fire-tower windows and
rooms that overlooked the courts. The
third match on the No. 1 court was
watched with interest by at least one
inmate , but she contended that It was
pur ely a case of love of the game.

size of type used in reading composition will become much
larger and more readable.

Have you ever thought of living
under the rule of a dictator? Can you
imagine what It would be like? Ignazio Silone in his "Bread and Wine"
portrays the situation vividly and authentically. Not many people know
what everyday life in modern Italy
means to ordinary citizens. Silone, a
true Italian, a brilliant observer, discipli ned thinker, and an accomplished
writer, portrays day by day life as it
is now lived. He portrays the peasants
with accuracy, vigor, racy humor, and
understanding.
This is a novel of symbolism. Pietro
Spina, the hero of the book, symbolizes liberty to which he devotes his
entire life. He is constantly pursued
by the police and has to disguise himself in priestly robes in order to
escape. Despite his failing health he
manages to return to his native villaso after a self exile abroad, f f q
works cautiously to prevent any suspicion but the declaration of war on
Ethiopia stirs him deeply and he is un_
able to restrain himself any longer.
He seeks his former comrades and
through them tries to stir up the peasants. One by one they are arrested
until Spina has to flee for fear of capture.
All the characters in the story are
affected, directly or indirectly, by
Spina.

While In a reviewin g and reflective
mood , we should do Justice to our opp onents from up Stroudsbur g way,
where poor athletic tea ms are as
scarce as silver dollars , or any dollars
for that matte r.
We are told that In the 11 years Doc
Cras per has tutored the Warrior basketball squa d his teams have avera ged
43.4 poi nts for 200 games. While we
don 't know what his opp onents have
averaged , we do know that they deserve a big hand If they have come
anywhere near that figur e.
The up-staters lost five men by
graduation this year: Dubln and Morgan , co-captains , Bill Davis, Jimm y
Reese and Danny Gre goria. But they
claim they aren 't worr ying, so perhaps we better be. ("bette r be") colloquialism for the time being.)
• • *
Nothing definite from other oppon-
ents, thou gh we do have a little news
from Kutztown , where they report a
loss by grad uation of two varsit y
cagers , Russ Stoudt and Claude Heffner , and one sub , William Purnell .
Stoudt , who will captain the baseball team this season , has als;o served
as captain of the football team ('36'37). The diminutive all around sta r
from Allento wn has won a total of
29 varsity letters in college, Allentown
Prep, and the Wh itehall Twp. High
School , Lehigh Count y. Anyone wearing a sweater award on the local campus wan t to match him?
It Is the unfor tunate but true obser vation of this depa rtment that a certain mid- western coach' s idea of placing a net on the othe r side of pole
vaulting standard s to eliminate the
usual fall for the ¦vaulter and make
things safer in general will have no
pra ctical use at Bloomsbur g.
The experimenter fro m a large midwestern u niversity believes that the
J ar which accompanies a drop of
thirteen or fourteen feet after the bar
has been cleared is injurious to a
vaulter 's nerves and physical condition , so he placed a net on the other
side of the bar to catch the vaulter.
The new device is also said to eliminate the fear of falling so often found
among young candidates.
But to localize the story a bit more
—you can't come down farther than
you went up, and to place the net so
close to the pit would seem foolish.

Sports at Bloomsb urg are backed by
the students , as evidenced at the tennis match with Susquehanna the other
day. Men of North Hall draped them selves out of all available window
spa ce and nonchantly viewed the
match from that pinnacle. Waller
Hall damsel s followed suit (from Waller Hall , of course ) and took advantage of the fire-tower windows and
rooms that overlooked the courts. The
third match on the No. 1 court was
watched with interest by at least one
inmate , but she contended that It was
pur ely a case of love of the game.
